When the Maharashtra government took the historic decision to allocate one per cent quota for orphans in government jobs under the general category, last month it was the victory of one girl’s long pursuit for a better future for her and many like her.
Amruta Karvande, a 23-year-old a postgraduate student in Pune began her campaign to get education and job quota for orphans last year after she failed to make the cut-off in the Maharashtra Public Service Commission (MPSC) in the open category. Amruta has scored 39 marks out of 100.
